Based on the metrisation of $b$-metric spaces of Paluszyński and Stempak [‘On quasi-metric and metric spaces’, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.137(12) (2009), 4307–4312], we prove that every $b$-metric space has a completion. Our approach resolves the limitation in using the quotient space of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences to obtain a completion of a $b$-metric space.
